The year is only a little half over, yet crime stats are blowing 2022 out of the water. The number of robberies and carjackings is truly absurd.  I guess this is the progress the voters wanted and the outcome of restorative justice. DC, where you can do whatever you want and there are no consequences for anything. Congress needs to step in at this point, because it is clear the DC govt is incapable of fulfilling its basic requirement of govt, which is to ensure public safety and justice.

Lawdy how bad are these 2023 stats going to be by year's end?[/quote]

Those are comparisons of year-to-date 2022 vs. year-to-date 2023.[/quote]
and?

Violent crime is up by 34% YTD, property crime 28%, and all crime 29%. [/quote]

Burglary is down 7%, theft from auto is unchanged, assault with a dangerous weapon is 6%, and as much as you want to make this specifically about DC, it's not. The whole thing about national trends is that they are national.

Also apparently a national trend, among authoritarians, unfortunately: a desire to take self-representation, self-determination, and self-governance away from people who don't vote Republican.[/quote]

Why is crime so much lower in PG county, which has 50% more people than DC?[/quote]

Because unlike DC, the black politicians and voters in PG don't need to placate rich white progressives with soft on crime measures. PG county has curfews and actually puts criminals in prison. Why do you think the PG criminals tend to appear in crime articles or arrest reports in DC/MoCo/Fairfax?[/quote]

PG even releases mugshots. And they lock up violent juveniles. [/quote]
